Duration
3 Years
Understand the opportunities and constraints to international development. Examine economic, political, social and anthropological aspects.
This is an interdisciplinary degree where you will study the economic, political and social aspects of development. During the course you will be able to specialise in any of these aspects according to your interests.
About this course
A focus on economics is maintained throughout because of its importance to international development as a field of work and the transferable work skills it provides.
In the first year you’ll gain an understanding of international development from a range of disciplinary perspectives. In the second year you will develop qualitative and quantitative skills with more advanced theoretical perspectives. You will apply these to a range of contexts and development challenges.
The study of international development will provide you with an academic foundation for a career in a range of fields. These could include:
governmental and international agencies
non-governmental organisations
development consultancies
international businesses (especially in emerging markets)
It also provides a solid foundation for postgraduate training for journalism, teaching and business.
We prefer applicants with at least one humanities or social science subject as part of their entry qualifications. This subject might be:
Economics
Geography
History
Philosophy
Politics
Psychology
Religious Studies
Sociology
GCSE Mathematics grade A or 7 plus GCSE English grade B or 6 (or equivalent from English language category A).
